Durham seamer Mark Wood is determined to make his mark for England during the upcoming tour of the West Indies.
The 25-year-old impressed for the Lions against South Africa's A side over the winter and has been named in England's 16-man party for next week's trip to the Caribbean.
Wood said: "I'm not going over there to make up the numbers. I definitely want to try and play a Test match and make my debut, I'd love for that to happen.
"So I'm going to give it my shot in the nets, and hopefully I can impress a few people there and get a go.
"Hopefully I bring something different to the table and they can see something in me like they have done so far and I can get a game.
"It's obviously been a frustrating couple of months for England recently and as a fan, I've been frustrated as well, so it'll be nice if we can get back to winning ways on the field and have that good camaraderie and atmosphere off it."
England kick off their tour with two warm-up matches against a St Kitts & Nevis Invitational XI and then begin the first of three Tests against the West Indies on April 13.
